IPL scam: SC asks BCCI to act against Meiyappan

New Delhi, Dec 9 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to take action against its president in exile N Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan in connection with the Indian Premier League scam, reports said.

The apex court provided Srinivasan with four options if he along with BCCI did not want the court to issue adverse orders.

Srinivasan was asked to withdraw from BCCI.

The apex court also said new committee should be formed to take action against those named by the Mudgal panel.

It also said that the  BCCI governing council should take action.

Mudgal panel has also been asked to take action.

This comes after Srinivasan was accused of taking no action against Meiyappan.

The court has clearly stated that it wants Meiyappan to be punished.

The Supreme Court has also given time to the BCCI to come up with solutions on Tuesday itself and should also proposed action against Chennai Super Kings and and Meiyappan.

Meanwhile, the annual general meeting of the BCCI is scheduled on Dec 17 where Srinivasan, who is already the chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), is seeking another term.

Srinivasan was seeking a clean chit from the Supreme Court to contest the BCCI elections and win another term as president.

Suspended BCCI President petitioned that he may be restored to his position as BCCI chief and be allowed to function.

The Mudgal Committee, which submitted its report on Nov 17, had indicted Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals franchise co-owner Raj Kundra of betting and confirmed their role in their teams but cleared Srinivasan of match fixing and scuttling the probe.

The probe report has charged Srinivasan with "covering up" Meiyappan's role.
